UK public-service television broadcaster, Channel 4 plans a short season of 3D programming this autumn as it teams with a major supermarket to distribute 3D glasses.

Channel 4 and Sainsbury's will offer the special glasses so viewers can watch a series of special programs including Derren Brown's 3D Magic Spectacular, The Greatest Ever 3D Moments, and The Queen in 3D,

Channel 4 will use low-cost ColorCode technology, which reportedly looks fairly normal without 3D glasses for the tests, but gains depth when viewed through amber and blue filters.

Freeview, satellite and cable channel Virgin 1 will air an episode of hit US comedy Chuck tomorrow night - Tuesday 25 August - also using the same technology, with ColorCode glasses distributed in copies of TV & Satellite Week magazine.

I doubt very much if blue and red glasses will play a part in any successful technology though.Wazabee.net seem to have a technology (special screen overlay) that shows 3D on a Macbook and iPhone.
